Pet Praying Mantis update

Love that portrait shot.
 
Thanks guys, yes she is striking, looking forward to her growing.... They don't have a long life span, around 18 months if I'm lucky
 
Excellent shots. We used to get them in the house/garden in Johannesburg, didn't realise that people keep them in this country.
 
She is... I haven't any real ones at the moment
 
At the moment, due to her small size, she's in jar with a mesh lid, it's quite tall so she can hang from the twigs or the mesh when she molts, probably 6 inch diameter and 12 inches tall... As she gets bigger she'll move into a bigger custom vivarium. This type are fine with room temperature, with misting every other day and she's now feeding on small crickets.
